Exercise - Cross-Docking
Cross Dock Setup
1 Modify the existing receiving routing using Internal Routing Maintenance
a Site = 10-301
b Warehouse = ____________
c Internal Routing = ____________
d Seq = 20
e Next 2x (check Clear Shortages box).
2 Create a new routing using Internal Routing Maintenance
Field | Start | End |
Site | 10-301 |
Warehouse | | |
Internal Routing | | |
Description | X-Dock |
Sequence | 10 | 20 |
IRG | | |
| (receiving) | (shipping) |
3 Assign a transaction type to the new routing using Int Routing Assignment Maint
Transaction Type | SHRT-SO |
Site | 10-301 |
Warehouse | |
Internal Routing | |
4 Assign shortage clearance rules for receiving using Algorithm Assignment Maintenance
Algorithm Type | SC |
Transaction Type | rct-* |
Site | 10-301 |
Warehouse | | |
Sequence | 10 | --- |
Algorithm | 2 | --- |
5 Assign pick rules for the shortage transaction using Algorithm Assignment Maintenance
Algorithm Type | PK |
Transaction Type | SHRT-* |
Site | 10-301 |
Warehouse | | |
Sequence | 10 | --- |
Algorithm | 1 | --- |
6 Assign a location find rule for shortage clearance using Algorithm Assignment Maintenance
Algorithm Type | LF |
Transaction Type | SHRT-SO |
Site | 10-301 |
Warehouse | | |
Sequence | 10 | 20 |
Algorithm | 3 | 1 |
7 Change shortage pick rules using Transaction Type Maintenance
• Transaction Type = PICK-SO
• Shortage Definition = 3
• Shortage Quantity Definition = 2
• Shortage Action = 2
• Shortage Window = 2
Cross Dock Execution
1 Setup a sales order for an item with not enough inventory in stock.
Example: Release an order for inventory with zero on hand.
2 Release the sales order.
3 Receive the back ordered item.
4 Partial will go to shipping for merge with the open order.
5 The remaining will be routed to put-away (if more than the sales order quantity is received.
